AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 5:32 but I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except on grounds of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who has been divorced commits adultery. [Deut 24:1-4; Luke 16:18] |
Bible Question: I divorced my husband and a year later remarried. My ex husband was not at fault. I have now rededicated my life to God. In Matthew 5 it says if I remarry I am committing adultery and so is my new husband. Am I forgiven now or is all lost and I am going to hell? My ex husband is now remarried also. |
Bible Answer: Dear Tami :: As is the case with virtually all marital and other domestic issues that registrants have been brought to this Forum seeking personal advice, the safest and best advice that we can give is to encourage you to arrange a meeting in your community with a trusted pastor who has adequate training and experience in counselling on problems and questions such as yours appears to be. Study Bible Forum is not designed for, and cannot give, the kind of face-to-face personal counselling that is usually called for in these kinds of situations. Do consider seeking help from a qualified Christian counselor, for it is far better to deal with unresolved conflicts head on than to allow them hang on and grow worse. A parting word about repentence. If you are truly a regenerate believer in Jesus Christ, have confessed your sins, and have repented (which means to turn from them), the word of God assures you that God has forgiven you (read 1 John 1:9). --Hank |
